Media Attacks Trump’s Tax Record… Quickly Gets HUMILIATED

The New York Times on Saturday published a portion of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s 1995 tax return that showed him claiming over $900 million in losses.

As was entirely expected, the liberal media and the Clinton campaign that holds their leashes began barking for all of America to hear that Trump might have legally carried forward those losses to legally avoid paying income taxes on income that was never there.

Except that the words “might” and “legally” often weren’t included in the screeching of the media, who instead endeavored to make it seem as if Trump had illegally avoided paying taxes that he rightfully owed.

If the media whores doing the bidding of the Clinton campaign had any sort of integrity, they would be humiliated by this latest failed attack on Trump for a couple reasons.

First, as stated before, Trump did absolutely nothing wrong. He merely took advantage of the tax code that was in place at the time, much like thousands of other large and small businesses have done during tough economic times in which they took a loss.

Furthermore, their incessant harping over his legal use of the tax code to avoid paying taxes he wasn’t required to pay once again exposed the media’s partisan bias in this 2016 election cycle (for those few remaining Americans who may not have noticed it yet).

The media focus on this issue also lent itself to Trump’s advantage in that it exposed the complexity of the tax code and how only the well-connected who employ small armies of accountants can successfully navigate it, a populist message if ever their was one.

The story can also be easily spun by the Trump campaign to his advantage by showing that, despite taking nearly a $1 billion loss in one year, Trump nevertheless managed to keep his empire solvent and survived the economic downturn that claimed many other businesses. Instead, he grew it further and continued to employ tens of thousands of people while pumping millions, if not billions, back into the economy over the years following that loss.

The entire story on Trump’s tax returns was yet another piece of spaghetti thrown against the wall by the liberal media to see if it would stick. That spaghetti is on the floor now with all the other limp noodles the media has tossed over the past year to no avail.
